Cisco ONS 15327 Release 4.6 Network Element Defaults

This document describes the factory-configured (default) network element (NE) settings for the Cisco ONS 15327. It includes descriptions of card default settings and node default settings and provides procedures for importing, exporting and editing the settings. Cards supported by this platform that are not listed in this document are not supported by factory-configured NE default settings.

Note The terms "Unidirectional Path Switched Ring" and "UPSR" may appear in Cisco literature. These terms do not refer to using Cisco ONS 15xxx products in a unidirectional path switched ring configuration. Rather, these terms, as well as "Path Protected Mesh Network" and "PPMN," refer generally to Cisco's path protection feature, which may be used in any topological network configuration. Cisco does not recommend using its path protection feature in any particular topological network configuration.

Network Element Defaults Description

The NE defaults are pre-installed on each Cisco ONS 15327 XTC card. They also ship as a file called 15327-defaults.txt on the CTC software CD in case you want to import the defaults onto existing XTC cards. The NE defaults include card-level and node-level defaults.

Changes made manually using Change Card Settings procedures in the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide override default settings. If you use the Defaults Editor or import a new defaults file, the default changes do not change the settings for cards that are currently installed, or for slots that are pre-provisioned for cards.

Changes made manually to most node-level default settings (either when you initially turn up a node or change node settings later) override the current settings, whether default or provisioned. If you change the default settings, either by using the Defaults Editor or by importing a new defaults file, the new defaults take effect immediately for all settings except those relating to protection (1+1 bidirectional switching, 1+1 reversion time, 1+1 revertive, BLSR ring reversion time, BLSR ring revertive, BLSR span reversion time, BLSR span revertive).

Note Changing the IIOP listener port in the NE defaults requires a reboot of the node in order for the default change to occur. Use caution when changing this default setting.

Use the following procedures if you need to edit, import, or export NE defaults.

NTP-B236 Edit Network Element Defaults

Purpose

This procedure edits the NE defaults using the NE Defaults Editor. The new defaults can either be applied only to the node on which they are edited or exported to a file and imported for use on other nodes.

Tools/Equipment

None

Prerequisite Procedures

None

Required/As Needed

Onsite or remote

Security Level

Superuser only

Step 1 Log into CTC at the node where you want to edit NE defaults. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide for login procedures.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Defaults tabs.

Step 3 Under Defaults Selector, choose a card type (if editing card-level defaults), CTC (if editing CTC defaults), or NODE (if editing node-level defaults). Clicking on the node name (at the top of the Defaults Selector column) lists all available NE defaults in the Default Name column. To selectively display just the defaults for a given card type, for node-level, or for CTC-level, you can drill down the Defaults Selector menu structure.

Step 4 Locate a default you want to change under Default Name.

Step 5 Click in the Default Value column for the default property you are changing and either choose a value from the drop-down menu (when available), or type in the desired new value.

Note If you click Reset before you click Apply,all values will return to their original settings.

Step 6 Click Apply (click in the Default Name column to activate the Apply button if it is unavailable). You can modify multiple default values before applying the changes.

A pencil icon will appear next to any default value that will be changed as a result of editing the defaults file.

Step 7 If you are modifying node-level defaults, a dialog box appears telling you that applying defaults for node level attributes overrides current provisioning and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

If you are modifying the IIOP Listener Port setting, a dialog box appears warning you that the node will reboot and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

Note Changes to node settings take effect when you click Apply. Changes to the IIOP Listener Port setting reboots the XTC. Changes made to card settings using the Defaults Editor do not change the settings for cards that are currently installed or slots that are pre-provisioned for cards. Card settings must be manually changed by opening the cards (or pre-provisioned card slot). For procedures to change card settings, refer to the Change Card Settings chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-B165 Import Network Element Defaults

Purpose

This procedure imports the NE defaults using the NE Defaults Editor. The defaults can either be imported from the CTC software CD (factory defaults) or from a customized file exported and saved from a node.

Tools/Equipment

None

Step 1 Log into CTC at the node where you want to edit NE defaults. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide for login procedures.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Defaults tabs.

Step 3 Click Import.

Step 4 Click Browse and browse to the file you are importing if the correct file name and location of the desired file do not appear in the Import Defaults from File dialog box.

Step 5 When the correct file name and location appear in the dialog box (the correct file name is 15327-defaults.txt if you are importing the factory defaults), click OK.

A pencil icon will appear next to any default value that will be changed as a result of importing the new defaults file.

Step 6 Click Apply.

Step 7 If the imported file fails to pass all edits, the problem field shows the first encountered problem default value that must be fixed. Change the problem default value and click Apply. Repeat until the imported file passes all edits successfully.

Step 8 If you are modifying node-level defaults, a dialog box appears telling you that applying defaults for node level attributes overrides current provisioning and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

If you are modifying the IIOP Listener Port setting, a dialog box appears warning you that the node will reboot and asks if you want to continue. Click Yes.

Note Changes to node settings take effect when you click Apply. Changes to the IIOP Listener Port setting reboots the XTC. Changes made to card settings using the Defaults Editor do not change the settings for cards that are currently installed or slots that are pre-provisioned for cards. Card settings must be manually changed by opening the cards (or pre-provisioned card slot). For procedures to change card settings, refer to the Change Card Settings chapter of the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

NTP-B166 Export Network Element Defaults

Purpose

This procedure exports the NE defaults using the NE Defaults Editor. The exported defaults can be imported to other nodes.

Note The defaults currently displayed are exported whether or not they have been applied to the current node.

Note The NE defaults can also be exported from the File > Export menu. These exported defaults are for reference only and cannot be imported.

Step 1 Log into CTC at the node where you want to edit NE defaults. Refer to the Cisco ONS 15327 Procedure Guide for login procedures.

Step 2 Click the Provisioning > Defaults tabs.

Step 3 Click Export.

Step 4 Click Browse and browse to the location where you want to export the file if it does not appear in the Export Defaults to File dialog box.

Step 5 Change the file name to something easy to remember (the file name has no extension).

Step 6 Click OK.

Stop. You have completed this procedure.

Card Default Settings

The tables in this section list the default settings for each card. Cisco provides settings that are pre-provisioned for the Cisco ONS 15327 optical and electrical cards, including:

•Soak Time (all cards) is the length of time that elapses between an AINS port receiving a valid signal and when it automatically changes to in-service status.

•General Timing settings determine the mode (internal or external), quality of RES, revertive, reversion time, and SSM message set for node timing.

Opening a TAC Case

Using the online TAC Case Open Tool is the fastest way to open P3 and P4 cases. (P3 and P4 cases are those in which your network is minimally impaired or for which you require product information.) After you describe your situation, the TAC Case Open Tool automatically recommends resources for an immediate solution. If your issue is not resolved using the recommended resources, your case will be assigned to a Cisco TAC engineer. The online TAC Case Open Tool is located at this URL:

For P1 or P2 cases (P1 and P2 cases are those in which your production network is down or severely degraded) or if you do not have Internet access, contact Cisco TAC by telephone. Cisco TAC engineers are assigned immediately to P1 and P2 cases to help keep your business operations running smoothly.

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
